Babbage's Analytical Engine, written from the

in French. Lovelace and Babbage saw then the need
to publish an English version of the article,

with Babbage. Her knowledge of French was great,
and she translated the piece with ease, but she
became engrossed in the project, adding more
details about the machine than the original
article had. As work progress ...

A hurried businessman runs across the airport at a
full sprint. If he doesn't get to Gate D3 in three
minutes, he will miss his flight to Singapore. As
he is running, little beads of sweat begin to form
on his brow. People gawk at him and hurl insults
his way when he bumps past them with seemingly no
thought. All of a sudden, the man stops in full
stride, whining to a stop. He breathes heavily and
looks to his right. How can he go on the plane
without something to read? Quickly the man bounds
over to the news stand and looks at the plethora
of reading materials. News looks appealing.
Grabbing a local newspaper and a copy of Newsweek,

calling, though, is to inquire about the number of
outboard motors that have gone missing since last

sudden sinister turn that sent a twinge through my
bladder. Like the rookie I was, I had made some as
yet unrecognized blunder. I felt the strong urge
to conclude the interview immediately, but it was
too late. He knew my name. He knew my brother's
name. He knew why I'd called. He knew everything.

Every persons life is unique in itself, each of us

as manipulators and transgressors. Events happen

lives and leave us as swiftly as they entered our
realm of consciousness. Only the things or people
that dramatically change who we are or the paths
of our lives or of those close to us, for better
or for worse, are remembered. The rest fade into
our memory. Each one obviously slightly changes
us, but for the most part they disappear without

A Slaves Life - 1,645 words
A Slave's Life Imagine, if you will, rising
earlier than the sun, eating a mere "snack"-
lacking essentially all nutritional value - and
trekking miles to toil in the unforgiving climate
of the southern states, and laboring until the sun
once again slipped under the horizon. Clad only in
the rags your master provided (perhaps years ago),
you begin walking in the dark the miles to your
"home." As described by the writers Jacob Stroyer
and Josiah Henson, this "home" was actually a mere
thatched roof, that you built with your own hands,
held up by pathetic walls, over a dirt floor and
you shared this tiny space with another family.
Upon return to "home," once again you eat the
meager rations yo ...

Ethnocentric is " characterized or based on the
attitude that ones own group is superior" or
"having race as a central interest". There is a
whole world of problems, politics, and, other
cultures, but it seems that the average Americans
only interest is that of themselves. The reason I
chose to focus more on the American being
ethnocentric is because I have been exposed the
most to this culture. Why is it that ...

abortions, the fetus is not an individual. The

Why is this song so important to me? It has to do
mostly with my memories and feelings. The song
reminds me a period of time in my life when I was
not old enough to understand its meaning. It is
very difficult to describe feelings, thus they
have to do with your personality, life, destiny
and past. This song became one of my favorites not
a long time ago though. About Love is not what may
